About

Idol Underground is the premier English language site for Japanese Idol news.

In addition to updating you on the latest news, Idol Underground offers exclusive reviews of live shows, PV’s, CD and Blue Ray releases. We’ll strive to alert you to the latest shows and idol appearances, too.

Our site tends to avoid discussion on the major idol groups (such as AKB48), as there is a plethora of information on most of these groups in the popular media. That being said, we quite often will report on an idol group before they hit the mainstream, and then will continue to report on them. Big events, like Tokyo Idol Festival, will always be covered.

If there is something specific that you’d like us to focus on, never hesitate to contact us.
